helloooeee
long time no see hope everyone is happy and well, ahhh life has happened and got in the way of my surveys and other things I was doing. I have, in true thrifty style been vusy decluttering and listing on fleabay each week,,made a bit and spent it on bits and pieces i wanted/needed some was a app food order as needed to get a mountain of cous cous etc
I have been super organised and already photographed any christmas items to sell on ebay,,,i dont wanna sell them now cos they sell better from oct/nov onwards things like toys games,anyhow taken a photo and then put them in the loft, I know I have no time towards xmas so this way I can be a little ahead.

I have been given 90 pairs of trainers!! nike adidas and tretron tennis shoes,,they are one of my ladies stock she cannot shift from her shop,,anyhow i am putting them on ebay for her,,i will hopefully make enough to pay for my family to have a couple of pairs each,,my dd has her eye on 6 pairs :rotfl: so my living room looks like jjb shoe section!!
We have also been v busy doing the house,,our bedroom painted and just need to paint a few bits to go in there,,like my mirror & chair,have got to find some material to edge the curtains they are white but i want a floral kind of strip for my floral shabby chic kinda look,,need to find time also!! We are building a utility,,the base work is done,,need to move on with new kitchen next,,oh the joy!
So some major decluttering and ebaying going on,,I did have a passing thought about renting our tent out?????? we have 2 large ones,,just thought we could but not sure how it would work,,obviously with a deposit! Saw it on ebay already and thought it may work for us.
Anyhow hope everyone is ok, so sorry I havent been on here for so long,,I definitely need to instead of getting wrapped up in stuff,,I need to learn to have five mins for myself;)

Well done Claire. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight. Do you have an Avon lady call? Their sleeptherapy mist is wonderful. I spray it when DD goes to bed, or wakes up in the night, and it works a treat.

Don't forget everyone, it's free listing weekend again.



Hiya Kirsty - I'm glad you've popped in to say hi.

Wow you've been busy. I know my DD would have her eye on way more than 6 pairs. Well done on being so organised.

Hi guys been really busy and haven't had time to read back but I keep seeing about writing shopping reviews and getting paid for them please could someone tell me what this is? how you do it? how much it pays? Thanks in advance

Oh bum - I just wrote a long reply and ie stopped working and lost it.

Dooyoo and ciao - you write reviews (over 150 words) and give your opinion. Depending on how popular your item is, and how many rates you get, depends on how much you earn - roughly about £1 per review.

On shopping.com - there is an offer to write five guides for £10 each. These are more detailed, and contain lots of references to the products on shopping.com.

Court was a disaster, for the 2nd court hearing on the run he didn't turn up, toays excuse was he couldn't get in on time!!
The Caffcass report, - we're making an offical complaint.
I've managed to get any letters from him stopped for now, but he has to put some stuff together for Miss Hoodie, then she has to be assessed and the court want to have round xx in July...... I have just had enough of it all. If he cared about his daughter as he was suppose to have done he'd of been there. Just hoping its hot air!!

Then spent 2hrs this afternoon, at a pta meeting, were organised to the extent that we have events up till July sorted, and provisonally booked in till June next yr!! x

Mum2one - don't get upset. It's showing him in his true colours. If he can't make court, what's he going to do when it comes to the time he supposed to collect her for visiting. It doesn't look good for him. Thanks for letting us know.

Hope things eventually get sorted for you mum2one.

Fear today is going to be another bad day. It's OH day off today so can't see me getting much done. Just managed another review on dy as he's still in bed. Got to go and get the boys up now!

Hope everyone has a good day.

Claire - same as you my OH is off today and I dont get much done when he is home either. he is still in bed, we are going to go and see my Dad lunchtime and I need to go to my town first but will wait for him so he can take the car.

So who is about and wants to refer me to this shopping.com thingy? I have just had a look and there are 2 things I could review, although I dont know where to start and what I am doing, but hey will give it a shot! Any takers???

Legend mum - it is not a thing where you get sent a referral mail. You just join and then the person who 'refers' you just tells the person who runs it your username.

Join up, and we can work out who gets referrals later.
